Hoo boy do I know how this is. My daughter and I had exchanges like this:
Me: Go wash your hands.
Her: NO
Me: Get up and go wash your hands!
Her: ONLY ONE.
SRSLY?

And then there was the time her birthday present from her grandparents was delayed, but we didn’t know that, and it looked like all they’d sent was a card (no money in it).
Her: Is this all they sent?
Me: It appears to be.
Her: Not much of a present, is it?
(She was only 5, but we did give her a little lecture on gratitude, etc).

So I’ll pray for you if you pray for me! Because from the sound of it, we’re both going to need all the prayers we can get!

Oh, brilliant! She’s just saucy enough that I don’t worry about her future one bit, although the next fifteen years are bound to be pretty hairy for you. Ha!
My five-year old daughter at dinner last month: Mama, I hope you don’t get F-A-T.
Me: Excuse me? What?
Seven-year-old brother: She said she hopes you don’t get fat, Mom.
Me: Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Because I KNOW HOW TO SPELL FAT!
Which just goes to show, mine are ALL conspiring against me.
